Beginning with a rational learning and decision-making model (Shenoy & Yu, 2011) that explained a wide range of puzzling behavioral and neural data related to inhibitory control, and compelling experimental results that validated our model (Ma & Yu, 2016), we then collaborated with Dr. C-S Li at Yale Medical School and Dr. M Paulus at UCSD Medical School to identify the neural correlates (in fMRI data) of probabilistic computation in the human brain (J. S. Ide, Shenoy, Yu*, & Li*, 2013), as well as investigating how the relevant cognitive and neural processes go awry psychiatric populations, in particular methamphetamine- and cocaine-users (Harlé et al., 2014, 2015; J. Ide, Hu, Zhang, Yu, & Li, 2015; Harlé, Zhang, Ma, Yu*, & Paulus*, 2016).
